About Lids
Hot, dry summers make a hat a practical purchase in this valley rather than only a fashionable one, and a fitted cap that actually fits is a different object from one grabbed off a rack on the way past.
Lids sits at 2271 Harvey Avenue on the Dilworth side of Kelowna, one of dozens of shops under that single large address, with a phone line at 250-717-1686 and a website of its own. Harvey carries the heaviest traffic in the city through the summer, so anyone driving in from Rutland, the Mission or the hillside neighbourhoods above should give the trip more time than the distance on a map suggests.
Headwear shops trade on sizing and on breadth. Fitted caps come in exact sizes and adjustable ones do not, and the gap between a seven and a seven and a quarter is the difference between wearing a cap all day and pulling it off after an hour. If you know your size, say it on the phone and ask whether the thing you want is on the shelf before crossing town for it. For team gear, ask what can be ordered in and how long it takes, particularly around a playoff run when everyone else has had the same idea. Buying a gift, ask about the exchange window, since a cap that does not fit is no use to whoever unwraps it.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
